Sigiriya

En el medio de la planicie boscosa de Sigiriya, en Sri Lanka, emerge un imponente promontorio rocoso de 370 metros de altura. La formación, tan caprichosa en medio de la llanura, es el resultado de una erupción de magma endurecida erosionada por miles de años. En el siglo V d.C., tras ser utilizada como monasterio dos siglos, la elevación fue elegida para emplazar un palacio real al resguardo de conflictos familiares por la sucesión del trono del rey Dhatusena. El diseño en el promontorio de Sigiriya, incluía una ciudad amurallada y ajardinada sobre la roca que permaneció abandonada hasta ser redescubierta en el año 1908. Sigiriya 3
